On Tuesday I hosted my pylint workshop during the regular Django Bulgaria meetup. This edition was the first which was practice based.

Attendance numbers were low but participation was very good. We managed to create 4 new checkers for Kiwi TCMS:

• PR #949 - AutoField checker
• PR #950 - OneToOneField checker
• PR #951 - discover directories without __init__.py
• PR #952 - empty class checker
• PR #955 - function based view checker

Many thanks to all contributors. These new checkers have discovered quite a few new issues with Kiwi TCMS so this is an area which our team is going to improve.

Those who missed the workshop will be able to catch up one of the next editions:

• 26-29 August, GUADEC, Thessaloniki - TBC (presentation)
• end of September, Python meetup, Zagreb - TBA
• 03-05 October, PyCon Balkan, Belgrade - TBC
• 11-13 October, HackConf, Sofia
• 15-17 October, TestCon Europe, Vilnius - TBC (backup presentation)
• 23-25 October, Testwarez, Ossa, Poland - TBC (presentation)
• 14-15 November, Software Engineering Conference Russia, Saint-Petersburg - TBC
• 20-22 November, ConTEST, New York - TBC (workshop and/or presentation)

Happy testing!
